""The editors' innovative ethnographic focus on front-line workers
makes a significant contribution to the multidisciplinary and
interdisciplinary field of gender-based violence studies."
--Madelaine Adelman, Arizona State University
"Above all else, this work's greatest value will come from bringing
together into one volume professional/applied and
scholarly/theoretical currents that are too often unaware of, much
less actively engaging, one another. The writing is approachable,
the cases and analysis compelling, and the political commitment
unmistakable."
--Sarah Hautzinger, author of Violence in the City of Women
"Anthropologists and social work and health care professionals as
well as human rights activists will find this book of interest.
Highly recommended."
--Choice
"In their introduction, Weis and Haldane stress the magnitude of
the problem of gender-based violence internationally and the need
for awareness of the interaction between global and local
responses. This volume makes a significant contribution to that
process."
--Anthropology Now
"This volume will appeal to scholars and practitioners who write
and teach about gender-based violence."
--Mindie Lazarus-Black, Temple University, author of Everyday Harm
